   Currently OSPFv3 uses IPsec for authenticating protocol packets.
   However, there are some environments, e.g., Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
   (MANETs), where IPsec is difficult to configure and maintain, and
   this mechanism cannot be used.  This draft proposes an alternative
   mechanism that can be used so that OSPFv3 does not only depend upon
   IPsec for authentication.
